can not delete big attachment

[huseyin]

In Outlook 2007 I have an email which contains a very big attachment jammed
up in the outbox. I cannot open it or delete it and the response is that
"Cannot open this email. Outlook has already started transmitting"

How can I get rid of it? And what is the normal limit for attachment size?


PS: I checked "Work offline" closed, opened and tried to delete from outbox.
No go

There is no "normal" limit, other than what your ISP or the recipient's ISP
allows. What you describe, however, is generally caused by scanning
outgoing mail with an antivirus scanner. DIsable mail scanning. You don't
need it anyway.

PS: I checked "Work offline" closed, opened and tried to delete from
outbox. No go

At leaft one of the methods here will work:

Method 3 is guaranteed to work, but it's usually a last resort.

problem.I disconnected the pc on the net, close outlook 2007, and then
